Q&A - Fitness Monitors
What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method?
Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric conductivity. The monitor sends an extremely weak electrical current through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. The weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitor is calculated by a formula that includes five factors; electric resistance, height, weight, age and gender.
What is visceral fat?
Visceral fat is located around the organs. Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased level of fat in the bloodstream, which can lead to common conditions such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sedentary life style causes excess visceral fat, and exercise can reduce it quicker than subcutaneous fat (fat located under skin).
What is resting metabolism?
Resting metabolism is the energy to maintain vital functions and it counts 60 to 70% of total energy consumption. Knowing your resting metabolism can help your dietplan. If you can increase daily activity while keeping food intake at resting metabolism level, you can lose weight.
What is skeletal muscle?
Skeletal muscle is muscle attached to the bones that is used to move the body. If you do weight loss without exercise, you may lose skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is important to maintain your resting metabolism as well as your functionality. Monitoring skeletal muscle during weight loss is key to avoid weight rebound in the future.

 easy to use and accurate January 8, 2009
Rezensent
This heart rate monitor is just as it is supposed to be: easy to use and very accurate.
I had lots of problems with other heart rate monitors. The display would fluctuate like hell. could be due to my untrained heart, strange rhythm or the somewhat unique shape of my chest.
No problem with this one, at all.

I've researched just about every sub-$100 heart monitor, and after committing to this one, I haven't regretted it once. It does exactly what it is supposed to do: give you an accurate heart rate reading. It's extremely simple to use: make sure you wet the chest band first, put it on, turn on the monitor function - pow! you're monitoring your heart rate. Can't beat it with a stick. I don't have any issues with it losing signal or sporadic heart rate readings like some of the other reviewers.
The band is pretty comfortable and durable; it also has a user-replaceable battery, so no sending it back to the factory for something as simple as a watch battery. Also included is a soft case, which I promptly threw away - the watch is rugged enough that it doesn't need babied. I use mine every day on my runs, so it get sweated on and then run under a tap to wash it off. No issues at all.
This is a no-frills HRM, but along that line, it's exceptional at the one thing you'd buy it for.
